Can you cut these to make less light?

Not this but. You can buy a 16 foot roll that can be cut , you will need to buy splice kit too make up as you need

I also cut them off using a jig saw. The plastic is thick enough and you could easily cut it with a hacksaw.

I don't think that would even be a wise project to attempt. Even if you cut them and could recrimp them shorter it would be almost impossible to get all 60 of them the perfect height. You would ruin the light.

You can lower them to be pretty direct on what you are doing. To spread the light you can raise it. It's not a room light though. It's more for doing something close up like reading, sewing, crafts, homework and such.

I'm not sure what you're asking? You can change the brightness and set it to go darker at night, but that depends on your preferences.

Yes, they can be cut with some scissors, but it might not look very nice. It would not have the support of the thick, clear plastic tray it sits in presently.

I used the entire strand and I did not have to cut the rope light. I'm not sure if you can cut it. Sorry I can't be any more help.

Yes, but their so low light you wouldn't want them on anything but high. Mines in a touch lamp right now. Kinda annoying, having to touch it three times to get a usable light. I feel like I'm OCD.

You could probably cut through them with a dremel or something similar; from what I recall they're too thick to cut with scissors.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to cut the lights, separate them and then join them back with wire, making the total length longer. If this is what you want to do then the answer is yes. Make sure you cut where the white line is on the led strips and then strip plastic to expose the wire and solder your additional wire to the led wire. The lights will need a 12 volt power supply and I also added a dimmer to control how much light. They are very bright.

Yes they are. They aren't quite crystal clear. But you can see lights through them if you're contemplating that in your design.

Yes, that would work. While I do not find it too bright at all (maybe half as bright as an iphone screen), I do think that covering part of it with masking tape or (even better) electrical tape would decrease the light output.

I suppose you could cut them, but you would need too do a quilted type x hem on each piece. They are completely hemmed around the whole piece.

Dr. Turner, these lights cannot be trimmed. Therefore utilizing the (4) 10 ft. sections would likely be your best bet.

Yes, you can. I have one working with a light bulb that is blown. There are two wires, a power and ground wire. Don't cut anything, just remove the bulb.

They arent really intended to be cut - they snap together. However , Id imagine a hack saw / sawsall would cut it just fine.
